I bet you've all noticed how outrageously expensive Amiga ethernet adaptors
are  -  whilst  for  PC and for Macs there are cheap parallel port and SCSI
port  adaptors available.  When these manufacturers are contacted they just
say Amiga?????  

All that is required is the writing of a SanaII device driver (way beyond my
capability) and these low cost devices would then be within the grasp of the
Amiga community. 

An example supplier is Focus Enhancements, of MA.  USA, (phone 617-938-8753
fax  938-7741).   This  company sells Mac SCSI to ethernet adaptors.  

There are a wealth of cheap PC parallel adaptors out there.

Has anyone found something that I havent?
